Harmonizations of Autonomous Vehicle Safety Validation and Verification for Higher Education

 

Objectives

We aim to establish a consortium comprising universities and SMEs dedicated to enhancing and standardising the safety aspects of autonomous vehicles (AV). This initiative seeks to strengthen the collaboration among universities, SMEs, and alliances focused on AV safety. Our goal is to spotlight AV safety for newly educated engineers in Europe, thereby contributing to safer future transportation and living environments. We also aim to promote responsible engineering for AI-powered AV systems.

Activities

The implementation consists of analysing standards, frameworks, developments, etc., for building a common understanding of AV safety for higher education. Based on the analysis we develop open AV safety-related flexible syllabus modules for HE at bachelor and master level. To achieve high-quality modern educational outcomes, the adaptation of open-source frameworks, public MOOC e-courses, teaching and learning materials i.e. digital content and AI-based course tools will be implemented.

Impact

Expected outcomes:
AV course on bachelor level (5-6 ECP);
AV safety Validation and Verification (V&V) plug-in modules (B and M level) (2-3 ECP);
AV Safety V&V open-source framework adapted for higher education;
Public e-course on AV Safety V&V with online lectures and hands-on material;
Practical use case examples where universities and SMEs are involved (AV shuttle, delivery robot, drone, F/10, etc.);
AI-enhanced tool for combining the best set of educational units for a educational use cases.
